How do i get rid of a pilonidal dimple?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Pilonidal disease: Minimally symptomatic cases of pilonidal disease can sometimes resolve with meticulous removal of hair from the area. However, most cases require either a simple incision and drainage or a more definitive surgical procedure.
